I guess it depends on just how good that deal is and how risk averse (or not) you are.
Have to agree. Unless this is a dream frame for you and you just cannot find another one in your size, then why bother? You buy a frame that is sketch, and sometimes a "good deal" turns out to be not such a good deal, you know?
